Mercy Mantra

Egon Spengler

Late one night in the middle of May
The devil brought me down to the river bank
he placed his mighty sickle up in my hand
And said dear boy tonight you'll take the life of another man

And if you don't heed my lines
I'll forever shut your eyes

Because the cat's in the cradle with the silver spoon
And I know I've got the right man to bring him doom

I said you know you're right I love to give em pain
I got a iron spine, skin of steel, you know I got them copper veins

Well it never was easy but it wasn't hard
The night it was high time to pull his card
I burst through the door like a bat outta hell
found my mark looked him deep in the eyes and said well

You know its that time
I forever shut your eyes

And with his silver tongue he tried his best
But that couldn't stop my blade right through his chest

Because I'm a death dealer- killin's my game
I got a iron spine, skin of steel, you know I got them copper veins

Bad Moon Thompkins - "Copper Veins"

Little Ghost (White Stripes cover)

This is the first in a series of short EP-length releases I will be producing this year. There will be collaboration, style changes, and varying themes.

I will never claim to be a great singer. I will never claim to be a great writer.

These five songs, performed on one track adding only reverb for texture, are faint and sparse. The guitar buzzes, the chords chop, my voice strays, the timings falter. I fear it would be doing an injustice to myself and my writing to puff these songs up with large scale production and vocal process.

I believe in these songs. They are all close to me. I hope you enjoy them. Thank you for listening.

See you next month.
